January 7th, 2010 Black Point to Galliot Cut, Exumas
After breakfast we weighed anchor and attempted to sail down to Little Farmers, but the wind died and we turned on the engine. We anchored on the west side of the island and dingied in to visit Jim on "Solitaire." Nancy had to make an unscheduled trip back to Washington and Jim was on a mooring alone, so we wanted to touch base with him before moving further south.
After our visit we returned to the boat weighed anchor again and motored south about 5 miles to Galliot Cut where we anchored for the night behind an island.

We got a good night's sleep, although it was still windy with some waves rolling into the bay. In the morning we stayed aboard. I replaced the articulating arms on our solar panels. One of them was broken and Kim bought replacements during her trip back to the States. I also changed the orientation of the cleats on our davits to avoid rubbing on the dinghy. I had to drill most of the holes and it took way longer than I had anticipated, but that is usually the case.
In the afternoon we went ashore with Kim, Steve, Larry and Bev (Shandell). We worked on the computers at Lorraine's and then had a late lunch.
We listened to the Spartans play Wisconsin in the evening and ended up eating popcorn for supper. (we were still full from lunch at 3 p.m.)
